Being caled to meet in council with the Antient of Days as they have now assembled and desided what to do As much is adoing and much a ben don I feel with them to cheerfully meet and write of their doings and daily moves They first met in Council thre days in succession In the month of June They since that have Laboured In differant parts that much has ben don to establish the kingdom of God They have met in differant Kingdoms and set things a moveing Agreeable to their minds that all is a doing as wisdom directs Famine war and pestilence is the theme that many is a suffering For the want of food Serious difficulty soon will arise that will brake down partition walls that now exists That set the captive fre and liborate the oprest And put things in order no more to be broke up As a kingdom will be established in the name of the Lord no more to be severd by the folly of man As much has been said in the name of the Lord without orthoroty to speak in his name he now has directed the antient of days to make ready to exterminate them and a kingdom established a new that will arise in the magesty and power of God From the Kingdom Thats fallen no more to arise and will be Established a Kingdom of God The honest and valient will be Caled to move in order as to them is shone The time is fast approaching that God to man will speak thew chosen vessels That he has raised up as there is many That move in his name Altho at present to each other dark yet they are a moving in the order of God They n order will meet all in away being directed by the ancient of Days as they have this day met in Council A desision by them is made now to unriddle the foibles of the Church of Latter day Saints that the secret acts of man may be known From this time forth A senry of things will arise that will cause sorrow mourning and Lamentation all over the Earth The Latter day Saints is first in voge As Judgment beguins at the house of God Then the wicked Into wickedness will run because of their unwise doings The spirit of God will be withdrawn and they left to fill up their cup of Iniquity that will soon usher in. They in contention will meet in aray That they will fall by their own weapons after they are left without Excuse But decision is past by a council on Earth that will establish an order anew that will rend and brake in pieces all that is not of God As the saviour in spirit has on Earth took a stand and the Holy Ghost in person has Commenced to move He now has commenced his work and will keep things in order from this time forth
